The article provides guidance on setting up Email Notifications in cPanel/WHM and highlights the situations when it's crucial to do so. WHM/cPanel offers the capability to configure notifications for significant server changes or issues, encompassing events like exceeded incoming email thresholds, update failures, account creation, and memory limitations. This proactive approach aids in detecting alterations and averting common server problems.
When you're prepared to configure Email Notifications, follow these steps:
-
If you're a VPS user, notable server issues or changes, such as Account Setup or Exceeding Memory Limits, may affect you.
-
To stay informed about these server events, utilize WHM to establish email notifications for cPanel accounts.
How to Set Up Email Notifications:
-
With your root account, log into the WHM panel.
-
From the navigation menu, select "Server Configuration".
